June vs. December — What's the Difference?

June is the sixth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, the second of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the third of five months to have a length of less than 31 days. June contains the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the day with the most daylight hours, and the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, the day with the fewest daylight hours (excluding polar regions in both cases).

December is the twelfth and the last month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. It is also the last of seven months to have a length of 31 days.
